This dashboard provides interactive plots and maps that highlight Marine Research Grants (MARGS) work in the Western Indian Ocean Region to access. The dashboard is under active development engineered by Benjamin Mpinga and Masumbuko Semba. We are thankful to WIOMSA for financial support to develop this interactive tool. We also express our profound gratitude to Richard Iannone and his colleagues for developing a flexdashboard platform that serve as the backbone of this tool. We have used several open source tools during the development stage and we can not mention them all in this section, we cited some of their work listed heredown;
